Jalapeño Popper Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

Who loves Jalapeño poppers? This girls does! So why not make them in to a grilled cheese! Well that is exactly what I did, and let me tell you it was AMAZING! How could it not be great? You are taking two of my favorite things and making them into one delicious sandwich. Even my "Grilled Cheese Snob" of a husband loved them.

The only think I would change, is use way more jalapeños then the recipe asks for. I cut about 6 jalapeños and it was not enough so I suggest using a ton unless your jalapeños are really big (mine were small-medium sized). I did forget to used the crushed tortilla chips...Oops. But I found that with the sourdough bread, it has a nice crunch to it, so you could omit the crushed chips all together if you wanted or did not have any on hand.

Overall this is a: Pintrest Success

Jalapeño Popper Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Ingredients

• 2 jalapeno peppers, cut in half lengthwise and seeded
• 2 slices sour dough bread
• 1 tablespoon butter, room temperature
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese, room temperature
• 1/2 cup jack and cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 tablespoon tortilla chips, crumbled

Directions

1. Place the peppers on a baking sheet with the cut side facing down.
2. Place the baking sheet on the top shelf in the oven and broil until the outer layer of the skin has blackened, about 8-14 minutes.
3. Place the peppers in a zip-lock bag or other seal-
   able container, seal and let them cool until you can handle them, about 20 minutes.
4. Remove the skins from the peppers. The skins should easily "pinch" off.
5. Butter the outside of each slice of bread and spread the cream cheese on the inside. Sprinkle half of the cheese on the cream cheese of one slice of bread, top with the jalapenos, crumbled tortilla chips, the remaining cheese and finally the other slice of bread.
6. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat.
7. Add the sandwich and grill until golden brown and the cheese has melted, about 2-4 minutes per side.
